2 things - my car seems to be underpowered, just had new engine with 60000 miles put in but no problem with engine, had problem prior to this
and - anyone ever notice in window where time/temp is displayed the word d15c or disk or something like that? Not on all the time but flashes - local dealer looks a me with blank stare when I tell them

More info - no power when starting out from a stop, going up a steep incline or a long incline like on a highway or passing power

I've seen DISC in my 'message center' display sometimes when I turn the key to start the car. I think it's an inadvertant message -- that the system programmers let the bug slip thru. It's supposed to appear on the radio display only, in my opinion.

About power... can you give us more info? Slow when starting from a stop? Or no passing power? Any odd noises?
